preached an able sermon to a cOngrega-
tion which packed the large auditorium
Of the church. The subject was, The
Pains of a Four Year PastOrate' Rev.

the assistance and sympathy he received
from the congregation, urged those who
had failed to ind religion in their pocket
book to hereafter give more attention to

loving call 10 embrace the Cross, and
closed with blessing on all.

CARRSGTON STOWE ESCAPES.
Sunday night as the Deputy Sergeant
went 10 the jail 20 Lave II properly
cleaned out Darlington Stowe, the ne
gro who was confined there awaiting a
second trial for felonious assault on the
Young daughter of Mr. Elijah Stowe,
made his escape and is now beyond the
reach of the officers.
Sunday night about II o'clock Deputy
Sergeant Fisher and a servant went in
the room where Stowe and other prison
ers were confined. They left the door
open never thinking that any tricks
would be played on them Stowe
and negro who was evidently
named after the author Of Uncle Toms
Cabin, was seen asleep apparently on his
bed A number of other negroes were in
the same room. Stowe had his weather
eve omen, however He saw the door
open and passed through II barefoOied
When the deputy sergeant reached the
bottom of the stairs, Stowe was block
away, running barefoOted like dog down
Tenth street towards the Palps planta
ton All efforts 10 track him failed
Deputy Sergeant Fisher said yes
terday that kilograms had been sent to
Norfolk, and Newport News
and all the police Of Richmond, and il
Stowe was not caught il would not be his
fault. This action Of the negro Darlington
Stowe in fleeing justice when he had
every chance of escape, when he would
have been bailed out in a day or two,
gives plain evidence that a guilty con
science pursued him, and he wanted to
place the courthouse and himself a. far
apart as possible
